OOWF Saturday Slam – July 15 ... 16, 2023
OOWF Arena – Asheville, North Carolina

• Firewoman vs. Ona Jones
Ona Jones is already in the ring when The Cult starts and Firewoman makes her way to the ring, with her brother and trainer Jack Quinn.

Russ: “Fire’s had a rough couple of weeks between her losses at the house show and the ultimatum from her brother.”
Razz: “I’m surprised he’s even here. Fire doesn’t take kindly to ultimatums.”
Russ: “This is one complicated sibling relationships that’s for sure.”
Razz: “She looks pretty focused … maybe the tough love is working?”

The bell rings and Ona decides to take it to Fire…who isn’t playing. She grabs Ona by the hair and snapmares her right out of the ring! Ona gets to her feet but Fire has hit the far ropes and comes sailing out to a crossbody, knocking her down. Both women get to their feet, and Fire again has the upper hand, driving Ona’s head down on the announce table.

Razz: “WHOA! Now this is the Firewoman I remember! No Mercy!”

Fire continues to hold Ona by the hair and goes to drive her into the barricade, but Ona gets a foot up to block it. Ona counters by grabbing Fire by the hair and throwing her over the barricade instead. Ona gets back into the ring as the referee counts, but he doesn’t have to because Fire practically levitates over the barricade and into the ring. Ona and Firewoman exchange haymakers. Ona grabs Fire by the hair again and pulls her into an uppercut elbow once…twice…thre—No! Fire pushes off and plants her foot right in Ona’s midsection. Ona doubles over and Fire grabs her in a front facelock. She poses a bit for the crowd, and then goes into a suplex, heads to the top rope…MOONSAULT! She makes the pin and one, two, THREE~!

Your winner (pinfall, 2:45), Firewoman!

Before Fire can celebrate, the camera goes to the entrance and we see Chris Jericho, golf clapping.

Y2J: “Nice, nice … you are really doing a great job dispatching with rookies, jobbers, and wannabes.”

Firewoman starts to go towards the ropes to probably run up the ramp, but Jack is talking some sense, and she might be listening.

Y2J: “Now, I won’t be taking it easy on you, just because you’re my protégé. And let’s face it, I taught you everything you know. You wouldn’t even be in that ring right now if hadn’t been for me. But I want to at least get more than a 2-minute match out of you, and your brother isn’t getting you any challenges, so I guess I have to do some MORE training for you.”

Anna Jay comes from the gorilla position and Firewoman is all in favor of that. Jack doesn’t even try … Firewoman runs up the ramp and she and Anna meet at the half way point and start to exchange punches. Anna Jay is getting the upper hand, forcing Fire back to the ring as Jericho follows. Anna Jay tosses Fire into the ring, and after the referee consults with her, he rings the bell. Jack and Jericho glare at each other but basically stay in their respective corners.

So, we are off and Anna Jay trips Fire up and tries to score a quick pin, but doesn’t get it. She pulls Fire up by the hair and peppers her with elbows … but Fire’s not quite done yet, and returns with some rapid-fire elbows of her own as the crowd counts along. She tries to run the ropes but Anna counters. Then Anna runs but Fire counters, and they keep matching and countering each other move for move.

Razz: “Now THIS is the kind of test Fire needs.”
Russ: “Or this is a way to put her out of commission!”

The energy doesn’t let up and just when it seems no one will get the upper hand, Fire gets momentarily distracted by Jericho on the apron, which lets Anna Jay get her into a reverse widow’s peak and goes for the pin, one, two … NO! Fire gets an elbow up and I don’t know who is more surprised, Moose, Jericho, or Anna! Jericho yells at Anna to finish Fire off. She pulls Fire up by the hair and gets her into a sleeper hold. It looks like it’s working but Fire sees where she is and rushes forward so that Anna’s face hits the turnbuckle as Fire rolls free. She immediately grabs Anna and gets her into Fujiwara Armbar, while looking right at Jericho!

Russ: “Hey that’s not in Fire’s usual moveset.”
Razz: “No but I believe it’s in Jericho’s 1004 holds!”

Fire is not holding back now and Anna has no choice but to tap out!

Your winner again (submission, 9:53), Firewoman!

Fire rolls to her corner and Jack gets her to the back while Jericho checks on Anna and glares at his future opponent.

• Shokan Dojo and Hunter of The Woodsmen (with Dakota) vs. The Royal Guard and Angie Delpetro (with Pete Quick)
With Angie and the Royal Guard already inside the ring, PORK and Katie step through the curtain to a wild applause, but not 100% backing. As the duo makes it’s way to the ring, “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)” bellows out as Hunter, one half of The Woodsmen is nowhere to be found. Katie, tired of looking back urges PORK to stop looking back as the pair enters the ring to face 3-on-2 odds, until …

Russ: “What in the hell?!”
Razz: “It’s Hunter! It’s about a dozen bucks and they all look pissed!”

The herd, under the watchful eye of Dakota, charges toward the ringside area as Angie, Nigel and Liam spill out of the ring and into the stands. Katie glares at Hunter while PORK is simply amused by the whole thing, laughing until Katie’s glare turns to her partner.

Dakota finally coaxes the deer to evacuate the ringside area as Angelo Barros starts the match proper with PORK indicating that he wants Nigel. The larger of the two problem solvers steps over the ropes, but doesn’t want part of grappling with the bulbous midwesterner. Hunter, now with his own kazoo fashioned in the shape of a calvary bugle, plays a few common classics to rile the crowd up as Katie stares daggers to the partner she never wanted. With all eyes seemingly on Hunter, Liam hands an object to Nigel, who then approaches PORK and slaps him across the face, dropping him immediately. As PORK lay unconscious, Barros signals for the bell having been maybe the only one ringside who saw the act as Nigel drops the blackjack on PORK.

Your winners, (disqualification, 1:06), the team of Shokan Dojo and Hunter of The Woodsmen!

The brawl is on afterward with Dakota serving as PORK’s surrogate to even the numbers, Angie gets almost zero contact on Katie, while The Royal Guard and The Woodsmen are battling to a stalemate. PORK comes to, quickly ambles to his feet and unleashes hell on anything moving, running through The Royal Guard with a double clothesline before and after hitting the ropes. PORK then suplexes Angie into Liam’s hands before The Woodsmen connect on a double dropkick to send the pair tumbling out. Nigel, begging off, eventually slides under the bottom rope to avoid more of PORK’s wrath. With PORK red-faced and breathing heavily, Katie pats him on the shoulder only to have her arm grabbed with PORK sending Katie to the mat with a hard judo throw. The Woodsmen see the act and immediately intervene as PORK snaps to and immediately apologizes to Katie, who is smiling.

The Woodsmen slowly back away from PORK, who is desperately trying to explain himself while Katie is grinning from ear to ear.

• Alexander Darling vs. Rory Thomas
Aerosmith’s “Dream On” begins to play and the OOWF rookie Rory Thomas steps out from the back to a big cheer from the crowd. He makes his way down the aisle, a bit slower than our last show as he has his eyes peeled for Alexander Darling lying in wait, but there is no attack coming and he climbs into the ring for a second set of big cheers. He takes it in, but quickly focuses on the entrance and is awaiting his opponent. He doesn’t have to wait very long as, “THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE” leads right into “King of the World” and the casually dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and a hoodie, Alexander Darling steps out from the back. He saunters down the ring, almost chuckling to himself as he slides under the bottom rope. Oh wait, he’s not chuckling to himself as he gets right in Rory’s face and laughs at him. The disrespect. Rory isn’t having that and nails Alex with a right cross as we are under way.

It's clear Alex has taken this match for granted and it’s costing him early as Rory is a proverbial house afire with strikes, and armdrags, and hiptosses, and just whipping Alex from corner to corner. Throughout the early beating he has taken, while continuing to try and find an opening, Alex continues to smile and laugh at Rory. And that only infuriates Rory more as he continues the onslaught but it also costs him finally as he feels he has Alex weakened enough as he climbs the tunrbuckles and goes for a missile dropkick, that Alex sidesteps out of the way of. Alex quickly begins a relentless assault on the rookie’s knee. Chop blocks, dragon screw leg whips, spinning knee bars…Alex holds nothing back as he tries to take Rory apart one body part at a time.

Rory gets a few hope spots in, and he looks good in those moments, but Alex is using his experience and willingness to do anything to win to keep Rory in check and this looks almost academic at this point. It feels almost as if Alex is now toying with Rory as he lifts him into a powerbomb position but with a bit higher toss and nails the HELICOPTER BOMB. Alex goes for the easy cover…

1…
2…
Alex pulls Rory off the mat and gets a glare from the ref and massive boos from the crowd. Alex just smirks and laughs it off and the ringside microphone can pick up Alex saying, “this is the price you pay for thinking you deserve to be in the ring with my title.” Alex turns Rory over and grabs his legs, he flips him over…DARLING MONEY CLIP is locked in. This is all but over now as Rory is struggling, but Alex has him in the center of the ring. But Rory is fighting and showing real fortitude here as he refuses to give up. Alex has a slightly bewildered look on his face for a second before he looks over his shoulder and sees Rory struggling towards the ropes. Alex is about to wrench back further when there is a blast from the sound system and Imagine Dragons “Radioactive” begins to play and the OOWF World Champion steps out from the back. Alexis Darling is on the stage staring at her brother who has to shake his head to keep focus, but that’s enough of a distraction that Rory is able to grab the ropes to force a break. Alex doesn’t let go as he is staring up the ramp. As the referee gets to 3, Alexis starts a sprint towards the ring and finally Alex lets go and for the first time, he acknowledges his sister as he walks towards the aisle himself and begins yelling.

There is a weird twin thing going on as they aren’t yelling in any known language but it is heated and they are pointing and saying a lot of stuff. All of this has given Rory a chance to recover and he nails Alex with a dropkick to the back to cause Alex to have the top rope snap back into his throat. Before he gets a chance to recover, Rory grabs him from behind and hits a roll-through CHAOS THEORY…

1…Rory bridges back
2…Alexander is struggling and Lexie is laughing
3!!!

Your winner (pinfall, 13:42), Rory Thomas?!

WHAT AN UPSET!!! Rory Thomas has just pinned former 5-time OOWF World Heavyweight Champion, Alexander Darling and he looks shocked as he jumps in the air. Lexie nods towards Rory and makes the universal title match motion towards him as she begins to head back up the ramp. No one has noticed that Alexander had slid out of the ring and grabbed a chair. As soon as Rory turns back around from facing Lexie, WHAM…steel chair to the gut and in the quickest of motions, Alexander Darling has Rory up on his shoulders…DARLING DRIVER onto the chair. Lexie finally hears the commotion in the ring and turns to sprint back that way as Alexander slides out and hops into the crowd. The yelling between the twins continues as officials come to check on Rory.

• Pete Quick vs. Dakota of The Woodsmen (with Hunter)
Dakota waits in the ring with Hunter with Pete’s entrance video and music playing, but no sign of Pete or any of his associates anywhere. A feed to the locker room cuts in on the OOWFTron, as Pete is standing just outside of the curtain.

PETE: “Dakota. You can have this win for all I care. I’d rather take the loss and continue my very important work of ridding OOWF of Jackie Quinn, than to dirty my hands with the most overgrown of the reject Boy Scouts. So go sell your popcorn or whatever it is that you do. Tell your grandkids that you got a win over Pete Quick one day.”

Pete pauses and smiles.

PETE: “… And whatever you do, don’t look behind you.”

Before The Woodsmen can react, Nigel and Liam clock Hunter and Dakota with blackjacks and begin stomping away at the downed tag-team champions. Nigel pairs off with a limp Hunter as Dakota’s willing spirit is no match for Liam’s brass knuckles. The beating continues while the bell rings incessantly until PORK barrels down the aisle, somehow faster than Katie Bardoor. The War Pigs go toe-to-toe with The Royal Guard as security detail swarm the ring to keep the teams apart. PORK checks on both Woodsmen while Katie invites the Guard in for more fisticuffs.

• Intercontinental championship: Awesome Bill from Dawsonville (c) vs. Beverly Cambridge vs. Jeff Mangyuniku
All three are in the ring with Mike Elevenbee going through the introductions. Beverly and Jeff get the expected reactions, but Awesome Bill gets more jeers than cheers, which he has definitely noticed, given his uneasy expression. With the bell ringing, Beverly and Jeff charge Bill, giving him various chops and strikes that the Georgian humors before shoving away Jeff and mowing down Beverly with a one-step lariat. Jeff dives back in, only to be caught and powerslammed by Bill for 2. Beverly kips up and takes the fight to Bill, getting a big boot and a count of 2 for her troubles. Jeff jumps on Bill’s back and is able to bring him down to a knee while latching on a sleeper hold. Jeff lets go as Beverly slides in with a dropkick to Bill’s other leg, dropping him to both knees as the two unfurl a series of kicks – both tandem and individual – as Bill falls face-first onto the mat. Beverly slides in with a Labell Lock as Jeff focuses on locking Bill’s legs in a Boston crab. Bill choices are limited, as is his mobility, but he manages to use his free arm to drag all three to the ropes where he forces a break.

Russ: “Had Bill tapped out, who would have won?”
Razz: “Beverly had the first submission try, so it would have been her.”
Russ: “But maybe it was Jeff’s Boston crab that would have forced Bill’s hand.”
Razz: “Look! Bill got to the ropes, which was the best possible result for those fans following along.”

Beverly and Jeff continue double-teaming Bill, who fights off both for temporary breathers, but cannot get separation with Beverly and Jeff birddogging him in a corner. Bill absorbs a heaping helping of punishment before “Insane in the Brain” plays. Everyone stops with Beverly and Jeff looking confused and Bill looking excited and hopeful. After 90 seconds, it appears that Justin Sane is not coming down that aisle, much to Bill’s disappointment. With Bill forlorn, The Young Bucks sneak up behind Jeff and drop him with stereo superkicks. Beverly tries to come to the aid of Jeff, but is backdropped over the ropes. Bill seizes the opportunity with a woozy Jeff, connecting with Go Dawgs, getting 3 from Gavin “Junior” Hale in the process as he chose to keep the match rolling, despite the outside interference.

Your winner (pinfall, 10:38), and STILL OOWF Intercontinental Champion, Awesome Bill from Dawsonville!

Afterward, Awesome Bill clutches his championship from Hale while continuing to look back toward the curtain in case Justin was taking his time to make his return. After a few minutes, Bill defeatedly sighs and walks to the back. While that’s happening, Matt and Nick Jackson taunt Jeff even more, getting him to take a few swipes before putting on a tandem offense clinic, leaving him laying again as Beverly slowly makes her way back to the ring after crashing into the barricade head-first.

• Zed and Sean Franklin vs. The One-Notes
It appears Carrie and Harper want to serenade us with another of their "classic" songs (or, at least, attempt to), but just as the music starts to play, Harper is drilled from behind by an elbow from Sean Franklin. Sean and Carrie then begin to exchange blows on the entrance ramp as Zed and Rev. BRICK~! emerge behind them. Zed appears none too eager to take part in this pre-match skirmish and gives BRICK~! a disapproving glance, but Sean and Harper have taken off towards the ring so he eventually has to give chase to take part in the match.

Once the bell rings, Sean quickly gains the upper hand over Carrie ... try as she might as the more technical of the One-Notes, she can't keep up with Sean's dexterity and athleticism. While Sean is dominating in the ring, Rev. BRICK~! is firing up the crowd, tossing t-shirts into the ringside seating and trying to start up a "House! Divided!" chant.

Zed, on the ring apron: “You realize that's a terrible name, right?!”
Rev. BRICK~!: “Are you kidding? The people are going to love it!”
Zed: “You're literally saying we're divided! That's a shitty team!”
Rev. BRICK~!: “Language, Zed!”

Zed turns around, eyes firmly rolling into the back of his head, just in time to see Sean scampering over for a tag while climbing to the top rope for what we can only assume would have been some kind of double-team maneuver they worked on during the week. However, with Zed unprepared, he moves into Sean's way instead. By the time Zed's in position, Carrie is back on her feet and spears Zed into the corner, sending Sean tumbling.

Zed curses again under his breath, receiving another admonishment from BRICK~! at ringside, as Carrie tags in Harper. Harper charges in looking for a massive clothesline, but Zed rolls underneath to avoid it, sending Harper crashing into the turnbuckle. On the rebound, Zed catches Harper and tosses her across the ring with a suplex. Zed turns, sees Sean has recovered and is back in the corner, and tags him in. Sean hits his Full Nelson Slam, then tags Zed back who immediately goes to the top rope ... The Answer! One, two, three!

Your winners (5:54; pinfall), Sean Franklin and Zed!

Rev. BRICK~! begins to march towards Mike Elevenbee, demanding he refer to the victors by their "team name," but Zed pulls him away while a bemused Sean watches the spectacle before the trio make their way back up the ramp, Zed high-fiving fans along the way.

• The Frenemies vs. The Battling Baristas
Before the feed even gets to ringside, chaos and yelling cam be heard as The Battling Baristas are laid out, stacked on top of each other with a solitary black boot in the frame. The camera zooms out to show Nyla Rose as the owner and wearer of the boot with Marina Shafir behind her.

NYLA: “Frenemies. We did this as a favor to you. We want you fresh and rested in two weeks. With two skilled combatants like these two beneath me, we couldn’t risk you competing against them and not being at 100% for us come July 29. Because we’ll gladly take you to 0%. Accept our challenge, or we’ll find you.”

Marina pours a carafe of coffee (lukewarm because I’m not a monster and not frou-frou because I need to stay on Fire’s good side) on Brynn and Tara’s faces as Kylie Mignolio and Bridget O’Malley race to find Nyla and Marina, but cannot get to them because officials and security dash in from the other side to keep the teams apart. Bridget can be heard yelling, “Bring it! We accept!” as the feed fades out.

• Lexie Darling and Lindsay McAllister vs. The Electric Company
“Electric Avenue” plays Joe and Jamie to the ring to partial jeers, but mainly apathy as the blue-collar rookies enter the ring and stretch on the ropes with “Just a Girl” breaking in and heralding Lindsay McAllister, who walks halfway down the ramp before “Radioactive” plays out the OOWF World Champion, Lexie Darling to wild applause. While Lexie is reluctant to embrace Lindsay, the two nod and rush the ring, taking the fight right to the rookies, making quick work of their opponents in a pre-match brawl, sending both to the outside with dropkicks. With Davis Hightower restoring order, Joe and Lindsay start for their respective teams as the bell rings. Joe’s clothesline is ducked as Lindsay deftly takes Joe to the mat from behind with a sling blade. A front somersault splash gets 2 before Joe slides back to his corner and tags Jamie. Lindsay finds the sledding a bit tougher with the larger of the two, but still holds enough of an advantage to work Jamie to the corner and tag in Lexie. As Lexie tries to not soak in too many cheers, Jamie decks her with a quick jab and escapes the corner. Lexie checks her jaw as Joe tags himself in only to walk into an arm drag, and another, and a third and a … OK, Joe rolled out of the ring before becoming the definition of insanity.

Lexie salutes the fans as Joe kicks at air in frustration. Joe reenters the ring and eats a dropkick and then gets snared in a cradle that gets 2. Lexie continues her lesson on the rookie as Lindsay cheers her on and slaps the turnbuckle to get the crowd in on it, too. Joe rakes Lexie’s eyes and sends her into the enemy corner with Joe and Jamie each getting shots in on the champ. Neither seems interested in Hightower’s enforcement of the rules as Lindsay busts in, only for Hightower to escort her back to her corner. That slow walk gives The Electric Company more time to hammer away on Lexie, with a double suplex getting 2.5 even with Jamie trying to hold the tights. Jamie misses on a knee drop, giving Lexie the opening to tag in Lindsay, who rushes in with right hands for anyone she chooses. As Jamie staggers back, Joe leaps over the top rope only to get a jumping knee to the face. Despite giving up 95 pounds, Lindsay muscles Jamie in position for an Aussie Attack, planting Jamie down before tagging Lexie back in, as she pulls Jamie to the middle of the ring and locks in the Darling Clutch, getting a quick submission while Lindsay cuts off Joe with a dropkick.

Your winners (submission, 7:47), the team of Lindsay McAllister and Lexie Darling!

Afterward, Lexie nods at Lindsay, who returns the gesture before the tandem walks to the back, seemingly more trusting of each other than before.

• Jack Quinn vs. an opponent of Pete Quick’s choosing
“Symphony of Destruction” plays and Jack Quinn makes his way to the ring. He gets more of a positive reaction than in recent weeks, but there's still a fair amount of boos. As he circles the ring, he pauses before three people dressed in black, including black veils covering their faces, holding "JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN & ELLIE MAY!" In front of them are framed pictures of Ellie May and Justin with flowers and burning candles.

Russ: “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of Justin Sane and Ellie May From Elijay …"
Razz: “They're not dead …"
Russ: “It is nice to see people paying respects to those whose lives have been affected by this madman”
Razz: “Russ … That is CLEARLY Angie, Nigel and Liam.”
Russ: “I have no reason to believe that.”

Jack finally gets into the ring and "Kingmaker" Pet Quick's music plays. Jack looks irritated as Quick makes his way to the top of the ramp.

JQ: “You gonna answer the challenge this week Quick?”
PQ: “Oh no dear boy, I wouldn't sully myself by laying hands on a street urchin such as you.”
JQ: “Well, your boy Fatu couldn't get it done last week, so I thought maybe you'd want to give it a try.”
PQ: “Ah yes, Mr. Fatu. I did make an unfortunate mistake when I selected him. I thought Mr. Fatu could beat you within an inch of your life and make you quit. And, while I certainly did enjoy the absolute beating you were given, I realized that you are Moosehead Jack, and Moosehead Jack THRIVES on violence! So this week, I decided to make you suffer in a completely different way, Jackie Quinn. Now, I know you fancy yourself as some sort of legitimate wrestler. We know your "match" with Matt Folz was quite legendary … Despite none of us actually SEEING it, and we know you are quite fond of your match against your sister, a match she carried you through. See Jackie, we all see right through you, and this week, I pulled some strings with some friends of mine from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Jackie Quinn, meet your nightmare.”

Jack turns around and Zach Sabre Jr. is in the ring!

Razz: “What the hell is Zach … Oh right, wrestling …”

(JACK QUINN NOTE: OK, full disclosure, I have only seen ZSJ a few times, and my lack of current wrestling watching has me severely limited, so you're getting the recap)

ZSJ beats the hell out of Jack, keeping him on the mat in various submission moves forcing Jack to burn through his rope breaks. ZSJ throws Jack out of the ring and argues with the referee while the "mourners" hop the railing and beat the ever loving piss out of Jack. They set Jack up for a spike piledriver, but PORK and Katie rush to ringside and attack the "mourners" revealing the two biggest to be, surprise surprise, Nigel and Liam. The four fight back to the back, leaving Angie still there. As Jack struggles to beat the count and get back into the ring, Angie hits him with a low blow, then a power bomb off the apron onto the floor! The referee starts the twenty count.

Razz: “If Jack gets counted out he loses! He loses the Moosehead Jack name!”
Russ: “My only regret is that it is a twenty count instead of a ten.”

The referee gets to fifteen and Jack grabs the bottom rope and tries to climb in, Angie attacks again, but as she charges at Jack, he catches her, lifts her and hits a GTSF on the floor! Angie is OUT! Jack slides under the bottom rope JUST before the twenty, and ZSJ proceeds to punish him even further.

Out of rope breaks, Jack has had to use his three referee warnings to escape various submissions.

Razz: “Jack’s got nothing left! Nothing can save him at this point!”
Russ: “GOOD!”

ZSJ puts Jack throat first on the middle rope, then distracts the referee, a recovered Angie grabs a chair and SLAMS it across Jack's face. Jack slumps to the mat, blood pouring off his head. ZSJ pulls Jack to the middle of the ring and puts him in a triangle choke. Quick rushes to ringside as Jack fights with everything to escape. Quick is almost orgasmic with joy as Jack slowly fades. Jack continues to fight, but the loss of blood and the absolute beating he has taken has been too much. The referee checks Jack's arm, it falls once, twice … Quick is breathlessly waiting for it to drop a third time when the crowd pops.

Razz: “What the hell is this?”

Awesome Bill From Dawsonville walks to the ring, steps between the ropes holding ZSJ's NJPW television title, which causes ZSJ to immediately break the hold and get to his feet. Bill and ZSJ go nose to nose as Jack struggles to his feet behind them. On the outside, Quick is screaming at Bill telling him to get out of the ring! Bill looks at the title, then hands it to ZSJ, then turns and MURDERS Jack with a CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! The referee turns and IMMEDIATELY calls for the disqualification.

KQ: “NO! NO! I SAID ONLY JACK HAS TO FOLLOW ONSLAUGHT RULES!”
Ref: “That's a disqualification under ANY rules, this wasn't a No Holds Barred match!”

Bill turns and smirks at Quick and points a finger at him

ABFD: “Son, I don't trustify you neither.”

Bill leaves the ring as the referee makes the announcement

WINNER by disqualification in 37:44 - Jack Quinn!

ZSJ puts the boots to Jack, joined by Angie until PORK and Katie make their return carrying kendo sticks to chase them away. They help Jack to his feet and help him to the back

• Steel cage match: Mac Flasher vs. Nuke
“Hate Breeders” plays with Nuke and Adam Jennings walking to the ring. Nuke’s normal sneer is replaced with an expression of discomfort as he slowly walks to the ring with a little bit of a stumble. Before Nuke enters the cage, Adam pulls a microphone from his jacket to address the crowd.

Adam: “While my son is battling a fever of 102 degrees and is unable to keep any sort of fluids or solids down, he has shown up tonight because he is everything that Mac Flasher once claimed to be. Nuke is a battler. Nuke is a warrior. Nuke is going to be here when his name is on the card because he honors his commitments. Above all else, Nuke knows that is he beats Mac Flasher while suffering from flu-like symptoms, his star will rocket straight to the top of this company. So Mac, get on out here. Put on some act about not wanting to fight Nuke in his condition and pretending to care about his well-being so that he can end this charade that you’ve been on since OOWF relaunched.”

Nuke slowly climbs into the ring through the open cage door as “I Get Wet” plays out Mac Flasher. Mac stands outside the ring and jaws with Adam, who gets nose to nose with him, as Annie runs down the ramp and attempts to attack Mac from behind only to get drilled by Sandra Fallon, who managed to chase her down. As Annie and Sandra fight, Mac heads to the ring and shuts the door himself with Mel Creech inside the ring.

Russ: “Just for our newer fans, these cage matches are finished by pinfall or submission. Escaping means nothing other than cowardice, unlike other companies.”
Razz: “Mac wanted this to keep things between two men, Nuke and Mac Flasher. He was given this match, and it’s unfortunate that Nuke is so ill. This would have been a highlight match for him!”

Creech signals for the bell with Mac stalking Nuke as he tries to stay outside of reach. Nuke, either a quick healer or forgetful of his illness, scales the side of the cage in near record time, even with Mac grabbing a leg. Mac lets him sit on top of the cage wall, inviting him down. Nuke stays put until Mac gestures that he’d climb the cage. Nuke returns to the mat and jabs Mac in the throat, gaining a short advantage before Mac breaks an attempted choke and boots Nuke down with ease. Nuke protests to Creech about Mac’s use of kicks, but Creech is not listening. Mac grabs Nuke and hits a German suplex before running Nuke into the cage. Mac then gives Nuke the cheese-grater treatment to bust him open before Nuke connects with a mule kick below the belt. Mac has the resolve to stay on Nuke after a quick fall, elbowing him down, but a missed lariat gives Nuke the opening to forge ahead with punches and forearms. Mac turns the tide with a back body drop, but Nuke scrambles up and kicks Mac low again before dropping a knee for 2. Nuke hotshots Mac into the cage, getting 2 off of that. Nuke then returns the favor of running Mac’s face across the cage to open a cut on his forehead. Nuke slugs away, having completely dropped the flu-like symptoms act at this point. Mac tries to fight back, but swings wildly and cannot connect, allowing Nuke to maintain the advantage with chokes and questionable holds, all legal however as Creech is only here to count pins or ask for submissions.

Nuke chokes Mac on the ropes before Mac elbows his way to freedom and throws Nuke into the side of the cage. Nuke returns volley with elbows, but misses a middle-rope elbow drop, giving Mac a chance to work on Nuke’s knees. Mac then boxes a wobbly Nuke down, picking him up only to unload more punches.

Russ: “Have we ever seen Mac Flasher this aggressive? Nuke has made this personal.”
Razz: “Mac would take advantage of an opponent with a temperature of 102 degrees just to get a cheap win.”

Nuke gets enough of an opening to sneak a kidney punch to Mac, practically paralyzing him for a second as he falls in a heap. Nuke climbs the ropes, but misses a flying elbow drop as Mac stand up and stomps Nuke low with his legs held in a wishbone. Adam bangs on the door to protest, but Creech pays him no mind. Meanwhile, the Sandra-Annie brawl makes its way back to ringside as Annie drills Sandra with the timekeeper’s hammer. Annie then slides the hammer through the cage to Nuke, who loads it up in his fist and misses as Mac ducks and shoots a double-leg takedown with a barrage of punches from the mounted position until Nuke drops the hammer that Mac spots almost immediately. Mac reaches for the hammer and gets raked in the eyes, allowing Nuke to regain the object. Nuke connects with a hammer-aided punch this time, knocking Mac cold as Annie has climbed into the ring with Sandra still woozy. Nuke rolls over for the pin, but his focus is on the outside of the ring as a shadowy figure is standing behind Adam. The camera zooms in to reveal Darby Allin, who decks Adam and then nods up to the ceiling as another shadowy figure repels from the rafters.

Russ: “Is Darby here to help or hurt Mac?”
Razz: “I’m not sure, either is …”
Tony Schiavone: “IT’S STIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG!”
Russ: “Get out of here, this isn’t your show!”

As Russ shoves Tony away from the announce table, Sting repels into the ring and points his bat at Annie, who is seemingly petrified. Mac, now on his feet, grabs Nuke from behind and delivers a picture-perfect Scorpion Death Drop to Nuke. Sting glares at Creech, who doesn’t know what to make of anything, except for the 3 count to end the match.

Your winner, (pinfall, 11:06), Mac Flasher!

Darby helps Sandra to her feet as Mike Elevenbee opens the cage door. Sting nods at Mac as Darby and Sandra enter. With Sandra standing beside Mac and Sting alongside Darby, all four shake hands and hug as the feed cuts away.

Whose House? PUN's House!
